The banality of Eldredge's argument is also pointed out by Dedering (review in Kleio, 224) in the following terms: ‘Is the pursuit of security really the most helpful analytical tool. or has it been used to give a rather mono-causal explanation of nineteenth century Lesotho? Is national self-preservation not the obvious concern for any society in history?’

- Bell , D. 1960 . The End of Ideology Olencoe This idea was already current in the 1950s and a number of scholars attempted to analyse it.

- In his review, Maloka has asked similar questions concerning Eldredge's collection and use of oral source material, including whether being a young white woman in an African village did not affect what she was told
- Dedering asks whether Eldredge's ‘continual emphasis on the voluntary acceptance of unequal social relations has not been influenced by (her) aged. informants', among whom wealthy people are [by Dr Eldredge's own admission] ‘disproportionately represented': Dedering, review, 223
